Slash to announce tour dates and band next week

Slash has posted an update to his MySpace account which informs fans that next week his full touring band which includes Myles Kennedy will hit the road on a tour of Europe, Japan and Australia before announcing dates in South America, Mexico and the US.

Full statement below:

Hello out there, a little long between updates I know, but I’ve been busy with promo, rehearsal etc. But all is well, I just had a great little trip to Europe doing press, everybody was great. It was very productive all in all.

Its my pleasure to mention that I have finally regained control of my website from my old merch company, as I am no longer working with them. That means Slashonline.com will be active again ASAP.

Tour dates are coming together. I will have Europe, Japan & Australia dates to announce by next week. South America, Mexico & US dates will soon follow.

I’ll announce the touring band next week as well. Its going to be a pretty fucking cool band to say the least.

The new “Slash model” Les Paul comes out April 1st in the USA & Custom Shop limited edition models. The Epiphone version hits the stores August 1st.

The Marshall AFD is in development & coming along fantastically. We’ll keep you in the loop at afd100.com. This is definitely one hell of a Marshall!

The 1st single from my solo record, “By the Sword” featuring Andrew Stockdale is out, so hit up your local radio station & get them to play it. Use what ever means of coercion possible!

That’s it for now but I will have all the show updates & band details coming your way this week.

Until then, caio! Iiii|; ),

As I previously brought you earlier, while on tour Slash’s set list will feature his own solo material, Alter Bridge songs, some Guns N’ Roses classics and an exclusive live showing of one or two songs from Myles upcoming solo album. (read more…)

Stay tuned with EspyRock next month for something a little special something regarding Slash’s new solo album.
